Please indulge me a brief moment away from the travel world. The Wall Street Journal has an article today about a new breed of cancer drugs that are showing promise. While these drugs don’t necessarily represent a silver bullet in the gun fight against…
Not travel-related in any way, but I saw this news last night and I really think Bloomberg has lost it. New York City plans to ban the sale of all sugary drinks over the size of 16 oz. Where to start? First, I don’t…
Hyatt 48Lex is a new property that’s been open about a year or so in Manhattan. Oddly enough, it’s located right near the corner of 48th and Lexington on the East side. It’s only a few blocks from Grand Central. You won’t see it…

This was my first stay at the Park Hyatt Chicago. I’d heard good things from others, and I’ve never had a Park Hyatt stay that failed to exceed my expectations. I dropped my bags off early in the morning since I was changing hotels…
Mommy Points has a couple of great pieces on her blog about family travel. The first is about families trying to get seats on a flight together. I think she makes some good points in the post, especially about trying to get some level…
I’ve stayed at this property a few times in the past. It’s well located with a decent sized club for Diamond members. The hotel consists of two towers (East and West). I’ve generally found the rooms in the West tower to be in better…
